Morning.
Sunny here with a clear sky .
I have put our garden waste bin out.
There is a ride with my friends planned this morning .

The seller has replied to my message and he has the correct address. The transaction isn't showing up in my original bay account but has been paid from PayPal.
Something strange seems to have happened in the 7 minutes delay .

It’s Black Bin Day today.

Dull morning again and looks like staying that way.
Need to go and get tickets from Calmac for a trip tomorrow. Saves having to go to the Craignure office before checking in.

The Royal Mail row rumbles on. We have had no deliveries for a week but the person in charge here says they will try to get some out tomorrow. This is all the fault of the main office in Oban. One ex employee volunteered to come in to help for a short while but was turned down by Oban manager.

Passed a guy with a large beard on a cargo bike yesterday on Main St. He did not look like he was touring but nobody I have seen before. First one I have seen here and the hills make any bike hard work especially in the town.

Ernie.. You're becoming a bit of a disappointment. 😔

Must have been a big beard if he needed a cargo bike to carry it !

It's got a bit cooler now that some cloud has appeared !

I apologise to Marmoset and Pete.

Ernie has sent me your winnings by mistake!

I have checked the Licence number on that website, and it recognises the name and gives the business address, which matches what the man said yesterday.

I am going to tackle this in two stages. He charges by the half or full van load, and is happy to move any heavy items.

My training commences at one.

I'm back from my cycle ride . It is nice and sunny with a slight breeze. We did 13 gentle miles , no need to rush just a gentle able. I couldn't decide on which bike to choose . My Boardman Sports or my classic Raleigh Clubman. In the end I chose my Raleigh. It turned out to be the right bike . It just felt right , whether it was the riding position I don't know but I was relaxing riding along with just one hand on the bars. It brought back memories of riding down the lanes in the 60's .
